The residents have described the attacks from the lone ranger as mysterious as it is claimed that he attacks homesteads with wooden doors.

The ogre has been described as a tall person, often donning a pair of shorts and always carries a sword, a torch and a walking stick, wearing a long oversize coat and socks without shoes, Nation reports.

“He broke the main door using a stone and landed in my bedroom where he demanded that I give him all the money that I had," said a victim who wished not to be mentioned.

The gangster is said to make attacks at wee hours of the morning from 2am to 4am.

The alleged criminal has been spotted in Ndumberi, Kangoya, Karamba-ini, Riabai, Buriria and Kiawanganyu villages.
